In addition to the feral cat situation on the islands, there apparently are/were several "big cat" rescue stations that may have lost one or two over the years.

Stories of "mystery big cats" on the island of Maui have been circulating since the late 1980s. In December 2002, sightings of a big cat increased in number in the Kula (upcountry) area, and the Division of Forestry and Wildlife requested the help of big cat wildlife biologists William Van Pelt and Stan Cunningham of the Arizona Game and Fish Department. It is theorized that a large feline was illegally brought into Hawaii as a pet and released or allowed to wander in the wild. The big cat managed to elude traps, infrared cameras, and professional trackers. A fur sample was obtained in 2003 but DNA analysis was inconclusive. Experts speculate that the big cat may be a Jaguar, Leopard or Mountain Lion.[/b]

The best way to store a pig in Hawaii, especially if you're close to the hunting parking spot is to sling it up in a tree. We do the same with our gutpiles. This is mainly to stop your dogs from grinding the pig instead of hunting. There are no cats here, there have been a few reports but that's all they are. With the ammount of people that run dogs in Hawaii it'd be impossible that no hunters would have chased it by now. Cats like to tree as well which would make it easily caught by a pack of pig dogs.

That piggie should have put up a bigger tree stand, looks like it slipped. Wonder how they got it up that high?
